Episode 2666:

Crystal Karges shares her transformative journey of ditching the scale, which helped her shift from defining her worth by weight to nurturing a trusting relationship with her body. She emphasizes that removing the scale can liberate mental space, foster self-respect, and empower future generations to resist diet culture.

Quotes to ponder:

"It changed the narrative in my brain that my weight was no longer defining my worth, nor could it dictate how or what I would feed my body."

"It is possible to break free from the pregnancy weight gain tracker so you can focus on doing what’s most important to keep you and your baby healthy and safe during pregnancy."

"Not just live but THRIVE and take a powerful step forward in reclaiming your life from diet culture."
